Oven Drawer Resize Modification for Taller Oven

New oven installations often require the drawer below to be resized to a shorter height. We rebuild the drawer front and the drawer box to save the drawer and the kitchen!

Nationwide via pack-and-ship services.

Drawer Box/DBH: Use shortest height = SOH rounded down to 1/8’s, deduct 1” box drawer box clearance and slide system connection. That is new drawer box height DBH.

After removing drawer front from drawer box, which is usually glued and stapled together, ruining the front panel of the box, zip the existing box height down to DBH. Likely requires removing and reattaching slide system back to same location. Likely requires replacing box’s front panel with ½” plywood.

Drawer Front DFH: Use tallest height = TOH, rounded up to 1/8’s, add 1” for front overlap of frame to include ½” on top and ½” on bottom to new DFH.

  • Remove the handles. Drilling new handle holes is in bid. Concealing old holes, if required, not in bid.
  • Remove the waste of the drawer box front panel from back of drawer front.
  • The drawer front is presumed to be lumber and likely raised panel.
  • Table saw rip the existing drawer front height down to DFH taking care to deal with old handle hole locations.
  • Standard option: square butt edge goes to bottom, has edges sanded, and stain applied to blend.
  • Match option: reproduce drawer front shape on newly machined bottom edge. Recreate finish to blend.
  • Bid Add-on: as required based on difficulty and stain color/darkness.
Worksheet:
Need accurate height of opening at left, center, and right. Home owner’s responsibility.

Opening height =                          left____ center_____ right _____ to 1/8s or 1/16s

Shortest Opening Height 1/8” SOH =                                      _____SOH

Drawer Box Height is SOH less 1” =                                      _____DBH

                                Particle Board box front removal & replacement $50.
                                Existing removable & re-usable plywood = no charge.

Tallest Opening Height 1/8” TOH =                                          _____TOH

Drawer Front Height is TOH plus1" =                                      _____DFH

Bottom Edge:
Standard Option = square butt sanded and stained only.
Match Option = recreate drawer front outside edge shapes & color as “practical”

Reassemble: Newly sized drawer front extending down from bottom of drawer box by ½” and extending up over cabinet rail by ½” with clearance required.

Typically
   $150/300 with standard square butt bottom edge option, nothing unusual, including difficulty getting existing drawer front off the exisitng box.
   $300/450 for match raised panel bottom edge option with finish to blend.
